Frequently Asked Questions
SlowBlink & buying Maine Coon Kittens
How much do your Maine Coon kittens cost?
Our kitten prices vary depending on a number of factors, including color, pattern, traits, age, and lineage.
Our prices typically range from $2,800 - $6,500 for pet-quality kittens and show-quality kittens. We offer breeding-quality kittens at a higher price point.
The cost of each specific kitten is provided when they become available or you reserve - feel free to send us a message for more.
Do you have any Maine Coon kittens available for sale? How can I get one?
Just send us a message and we will send you our available kittens!
We try to make it as easy as possible - when we went to get our first Maine Coon, we had to fill forms that were 40 pages, wait for weeks to get a response, and get on wait-lists that were booked 2 years ahead.

Can I choose the gender and color of my kitten?
We will do our best to accommodate your preferences based on the colors and genders of our breeding cats.
However, we prioritize placing our kittens in homes that are the best match for their personalities and needs above gender or color.
For example, if you have a household with three bulldogs, and your favorite kitty in our current litter is shy - or if you want a very active cat, but the kitten is very cuddly and not as active, we will discuss that with you first!
Do you ship your kittens?
Yes. We do prefer meeting our clients in person wherever possible though!
We can work with buyers to arrange shipping anywhere - Canada and USA are easiest.
What is included in the price of a kitten?
Our Maine Coon kittens come with our Slow Blink Kitten Care Package, which includes our Maine Coon guide book, Pedigree, Health Certificate, Vet signed Health Record booklet, 30 days Trupanion Free Health Insurance, and more. To dive deeper, see our Maine Coon Kittens for Sale page!
Do you offer any breeding services or sell breeding rights?
We occasionally offer breeding-quality kittens at a higher price point. Contact us if you are interested in a breeding-quality Maine Coon.
What is your policy on returns or refunds?
All our kittens go home with 30 days of Trupanion insurance. We also offer genetic health guarantees for all of our kittens, and we are here to help you to with any issues that may arise for the lifetime of your pet.
For more, see our Return Policy Page.
How do you socialize your kittens?
Our kittens are raised in our home and are exposed to a variety of sights, sounds, and experiences from an early age.
We handle and interact with our kittens on a daily basis to help them become comfortable around people and other animals. Our kittens are well-socialized with a colony of cats, from whom they learn.
Our kittens are also introduced to different toys and environments to help them develop their physical and cognitive abilities.
We provide our kittens with plenty of love and attention from the moment they are born. All of them sleep in our bed with us!
How do you ensure the health and well-being of your cats and kittens?
We follow the Code of Practice for Canadian Cattery Operations by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.
We work closely with our Vet to ensure that all of our breeding kings and queens receive regular check-ups, vaccinations, and preventative care.
We also take steps to prevent the spread of disease, such as quarantining new cats and kittens and ensuring that our cattery is clean and hygienic.
We also have an entire Ethics Policy Page.
Where is Slow Blink Maine Coons located?
We are located in BC, Canada. We have a place on Vancouver Island, and in Burnaby in the Greater Vancouver Area of British Columbia.
Can I come visit in-person?
Sorry, for the health and safety of our family, cats, and especially - the kittens, we do not provide public access. Young kittens are still developing their immune systems and it is easy for them to pick up germs. However, we are more than happy to schedule a time in advance for a virtual visit with FaceTime, Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams. Once a kitten is reserved, we provide photo and video updates so that you can see your kitten grow up! We try to do photo sessions weekly.
What are the best toys, treats, tunnels, beds, water fountains, food bowls, cat trees, grooming tools, litter box, and other products for Maine Coon cats?
The best products are few and far between. In our journey to find what works and what doesn't, trying everything we can get our hands on, we have found many that work for some things and have problems with other things, so in the few spare moments we have, we have been working on creating our own top of the line products - stay tuned to learn more! That being said, we will update this page in the future (soon) with products that have worked (best) for us. We send each kitten home with a care package that contains many of these items!
